I searched in vain to buy one. When I created this thread I in fact needed two, one for me and one for my son. Our needs are different as I wanted something for touring and his need is commuting.

I found the 8 litre version easily which is ideal for my son. Wiggle delivered last week and he's very pleased. I'm very impressed by the design and quality but couldn't find a 14 litre bag anywhere.

If you do find them in stock please post a link.

@PaulSB Spa cycles?

Does look like they might if their site is up to date. I've been searching in vain everywhere else. Out of stock everywhere, even some of the German sites. Not for me........just having a look for Paul to see if I could find anything.

Cycle Heaven in York had a range of Restrap so might be worth a ring at f Spa can't sort you out.

I have the Apidura Seat pack and the Restrap Holster. The Restrap Holster is always on my bike. The Restrap Holster is holster which contains a drybag. You fill the drybag and it slips into the holster. It is simple and easy to pack and unpack. I attach mine to my carbon seatpost and have never had a problem. It would be difficult to overload. The Restrap fastens to the bike much more securely than the Apidura.
The Apidura does not have a dry sack and will not take as much gear as the Restrap Holster. Its a total PIA to pack and unpack and is difficult to keep totally solid.

I just got the restrap holster and dry bag and my seat isn’t high enough to fit it. Frustrating. From the measurements on their site, it seemed like I’d have more than enough room. But I can’t ride the bike effectively with the seat any higher. I can’t find many other people with this problem which makes me wonder if I haven’t done something wrong... but now I’m on a mad race to try and find something for my upcoming trip. It would suck to be left with a rucksack!

That looks wrong. But you may be right. . Have a look at mine. It looks like you wont get any seatpack to fit on such a short seatpost. I would go for a rack and one pannier, or top bag.
